John 14:3: "'And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.'"
Colossians 3:1-4: "1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory."

John 14:3 appears near the end of the first verse: "For where the Head is, there as well / I know His members are to dwell / When Christ will come and call them." These lines also incorporate the image of us as members of one body (Romans 12:4-5) with Christ as the head (Ephesians 5:23, Colossians 1:18).
"Seek[ing] the things that are above" and "set[ting] your minds on things that are above" from Colossians 3 appear in the second verse, specifically in the lines "For where my treasure went before, / There all my thoughts will ever soar." This also resembles Matthew 6:21: "'For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.'"
